Hardware :: Driver For USB To Parallel Cable ?
Jan 10, 2010
I have been trying to install an old HP Laserjet 4100 printer using an USB to Parallel Cable (Cables Limited USB IEEE 1284 printer cable). The driver provided with the cable worked on windows XP and I was able to print. The cable is also sold as supporting Linux but it seems that is was tested for fedora core 4 and Moschip Support Team wrote me that ubuntu 9.04 was not supported. When trying to install the driver (makefile) I got a lot of errors (see annex) . I have a System 76 PC with ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-17-generic, intel(R) Core(TM). Whwn connected the printer is not recognized.
How to install the cable ? Or any trade / model of printer cable really able to work with ubuntu ?
Additional information: lsusboutput, linux dirver file list, errors whwn carrying out the make and dmesg output
Additional information: lsusb indicates Bus 002 Device 002: ID 9710:7705 MosChip Semiconductor Printer USB to Parallel
The linux driver files are:

I am trying to print to an HP LaserJet 6L via a USB->parallel printercable, from a CentOS 5.3 machine using CUPS 1.3.7, but I cannot get itto work.When I plug the cable into the USB port on the CentOS computer, I seethat the following devices are created:
crw------- 1 root root 442, 6145 Aug 13 08:28 /dev/usbdev4.2_ep00
crw------- 1 root root 442, 6145 Aug 13 08:28 /dev/usbdev4.2_ep02

what shell command I should look into that will "mount" a printer that is present in lsusb output, but not present in /dev/usb/? I have a working printer connected with a Parallel to USB printer cable, but after I reboot the machine the printer is not "mounted" (for lack of the correct term?) at /dev/usb/lp0 until I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in lsusb sees it always though.

My boot time seems to be relatively slow & looking through the log file I notice that "ppdev: user-space parallel port driver" takes about 25 seconds to load.Is this normal/necessary to load? My laptop is a toshiba satellite pro running 10.04.

I have done the following (downloaded the driver to "serial" directory) :
1. cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-14/drivers/usb/serial/
2. depmod -a
3. modprobe driver_name
I get FATAL error, Module not found, even though it's there. The driver is for my kernel version.

This post is for an HP parallel printer but I think it should work for at least "some" other parallel printers.I am sure that someone smarter than me will follow up this post with a "well, just do this and that" and you will have your HP Laserjet 6P printer ready to go, but since questions litter the forums of MANY distros on how to get "at least" an HP parallel printer to work, I'll post this anyway.This may or may not work for you if you do not have an HP but you can try it.The install printer box will let you do an install for an HP Parallel and it asks for how it is to talk to it, through CUPS sock or "local host'. When we get through what I recommend you should chose "local host".

Using ubuntu 10.10 (pinguy OS) i connected an ethernet cable from my girl's macbook pro to her lenovo ideapad s10-3t to transfer some DS9 episodes onto it. new enough to linux to have not been able to figure out how to access the files on the mac, so i disconnected the ethernet, and the wireless hasn't worked since. tried everything i know, and googling for a while (as well as searching again on this forum) to no avail.
Just before linking the 2 computers via ethernet, the wireless worked fine on the ideapad, always had; but not so after the ethernet connection that did nothing other than apparently kill the wireless. an "lshw -C network" command tells me i have a BCM4313 wireless card, and *-network UNCLAIMED. also, if i launch "install additional drivers", i see that the proprietary driver is not active.
How could merely plugging in an ethernet cable that happened to be conncected to a MBP running OSX.6 do that? and will that happen again? i thought linux was supposed to play real nice with other OS's, so why did a simple file transfer kill my wireless connectivity? i have no access to internet via ethernet cable, so i cannot just download the driver i need now. shouldn't it still be in the computer still? somewhere? is there a simple solution to this, or has the wireless driver been wiped out by plugging in the ethernet? is this a bug that should be reported?

how I could file share, or make the whole Hard Drive (HDD) accessible to another computer. The two other computers I have are a Toshiba Laptop with Ethernet and USB, and a iMac Intel with Firewire, USB, and Ethernet. Putting these to use along with:
Three Ethernet Cables
Two Printer Peripheral USB Cables
The Two Computers
A 2GB Flash Drive
That is all I can think of right now. I do not want to use CDs. In a way, I would like to do a network boot. So, how do I get the whole HDD visible to the others computers (either/both) and be able to write to it? I want to put Xubuntu on it, and earse the rest of the Hard Drive. The computers getting this are the iMac G3s and the eMac G4. The eMac has 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 700MHz processor. Two iMacs have 128MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and a 600MHz Processor. The other iMac is the same as the rest but has a 500MHz processor.

I can't get a certain harddrive out of its mounting (screws too tight) , but I want it connected to a different computer. Is it possible to have the harddrive's powercable connected to one computer, and its SATA cable connected to another computer's motherboard? (The powercable is too short to connect it to the other computer.)

My new Shuttle runs Debian fine, but like most new systems, the old serial and parallel ports are long gone. I have no problems with the serial port - there is a Sourceforge driver to use with most PL-2303 type USB to Serial adapter cables. But, I am having trouble googling up the USB to Parallel connection. There are no lack of USB/Parallel cables, but all that I have found come with canned software for Windows and only for connecting a printer. I have several non-printer devices that connect via the P-Port that I access using a Perl driver from CPAN. Anybody know of an open source *nix driver for any particular USB/PP cable? Or had any experience in moving from the straight PP to a USB/PP connection to a non-printer device?

I have a bash script with a line like this in it:
Code: mysqldump -uusername -ppassword --master-data=2 --single-transaction --quick --add-drop-table --add-drop-database somedatabase | gzip > ./somedatabase.sql.gz The problem is, I have about 16 databases I'm dumping like this, but it's dumping
[Code]....
So, does putting in a & after a command work in a bash script at all? The thought was, if I want to run them in parallel, should I do this?
Code: #!/bin/bash
./scripts/dumpthis &
./scripts/dumpthat &
./scripts/dumpsomemore & Where "dumpthis" is just the first snippet of code above.

I have a shell script to refresh some databases. Currently I open 5 sessions and to execute the five scripts.
Today, as test, I tried to see if I could run two refreshes simultaneously from one session using the '&':
. /refresh.ksh db1 &
. /refresh.ksh db2
The first one ran and the second one started only after the first one was finished. Could it be that the script refresh.ksh contains many commands and those are not pushed to the background? If so, what's the best approach to getting 5 db's refresh simultanously from on session?

I use an application called redbutton-browser to access some of the things available on the redbutton digital tv channels. It compiles fine if I use a simple make but fails if I try to run parallel jobs with make -j4. I'd like some help altering the Makefile so that it does a few commands sequentially before it does the rest of the Makefile in parallel.
The relevant bit of the Makefile looks like this:
Code:
ISO13522-MHEG-5.c:xsd2c.c ISO13522-MHEG-5.xsd add_instance_vars.conf add_rtti.conf
make xsd2c
./xsd2c ISO13522-MHEG-5.xsd
./add_instance_vars ISO13522-MHEG-5.c ISO13522-MHEG-5.h
./add_rtti ISO13522-MHEG-5.c > rtti.h

I was asked to research if it is possible to install a Debian distribution of Linux to HP Z420 Workstations as second OS (dual boot) in our lab. The lab is normally used for Computer Aided Design (Windows 7). The plan is to have parallel computing possible with these workstations on Linux side.
The link for HP Z420 Specs suggests amd64 distrubition should be supported. Tell me If I'm wrong as I have always been interested in software side of things.
Looking for info regarding installation of Debian to HP Z420 workstations as well as using these computers for parallel computing with Debian.

When I boot fc14 with an already defined printer connected on the parallel port, then I can use the printer. The printer appears on parallel:/dev/lp0. But, if the printer is not connected during startup, when I connect the printer I cannot use it. Nothing happens. I have no corresponding message using "dmesg" command when I connect the printer.
I cannot make cups see that the printer is connected, using "localhost:631" in firefox. Is it possible to "mount" the printer manually? Using "system-config-printer", the printer has to be "activated", even though it is not used or even connected. Then "parport" module is installed during boot (with other related modules: "ppdev" and "parport_pc").
Then, when the printer is connected, "dmesg" shows :
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
lp0: console ready
And, of course, it is now OK to use the printer.

I have a Panasonic 3123 dot matrix printer which I am trying to get working on my Dell Vostro 420 running 11.3 (x64). Since Dell decided to eliminate on board parallel ports from their systems I've added one with a Startech PCI1PECP PCI card (uses a NETMOS NM9805CV chipset). I've confirmed that the printer works using an old laptop running Windows 2k with a LPT port running in ECP mode. When attached to my desktop the printer will (usually) shift the pin carriage etc when I perform a cold boot but will not respond when sent a test page in yast or cups (it is detected after a fashion and I have assigned the appropriate ppd from the Omni package).
The following is the relevant out put from lspci, lsmod and dmesg:
Code:
05:00.0 Communication controller: Device 1710:9805 (rev 01)

While converting some images using ImageMagick, I noticed a somewhat strange effect. Using xargs was significantly slower than a standard for loop. Since xargs limited to a single process should act like a for loop, I tested that, and found it to be about the same.
Thus, we have this demonstration.
Quad core (AMD Athalon X4, 2.6GHz)
Working entirely on a tempfs (16g ram total; no swap)
No other major loads

I've been running an old DOS app that reads and writes the parallel port bits to do a control task. Its worked great running on Ubuntu 6.06 but I can't get the version on 10.04 to read and write the actual hardware. I can't find what is missing from the configuration, as I recall all I did on 6.06 was edit /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf to uncomment the line:
$_ports = $_ports, " device /dev/lp0 range 0x378 0x37a" in the "Direct Hardware access" section and start the xdosemu session as root. The process runs in the background and has "just worked" for years. This has got me stuck as the last step of migrating from 6.06 to 10.04 -- everything except this, postfix, samba, etc. couldn't have been easier, but I'm stuck now
Yes the new motherboard parallel port is set for 0x378 and it shows in /proc/ioports. I guess it could be defective, but the software reads back the values it writes and thinks its working, its just none of the outputs change and changes on the inputs are not read so the code is stuck waiting for the initial response to its first output.

I am doing a project where 2 clients connect to server and communicate (chat) and transfer data one after other using sockets. I have working code for this in C language. Now our main aim is to create a communication link where two clients transfer multiple streams data parallely. To be more precise i want to transfer images files and audio files parallel at same time, so is it possible to send data parallel using one socket connection?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>

My program is, I can't compile this program using gcc, and I can't find something like pgcc in ubuntu. How should I compile this program? After compiling, what should I do to run this program? Can I use something like mpirun to run it? I want to try to use both cores of my computer to run it and make it shows Node 1 also besides Node0.

For several months I now and then tries to get my 64-bit installation to work satisfactory. My 32-bits work but not as good as my 10.3 versions. Last problem is the parallel port. Neither cups or yast finds the printer. Hardware probing gives this:
